Dmitry Chaplin Choreographing for So You Think You Can Dance
Dmitry fans, set your DVR’s! Looks like Dmitry is one of the choreographers on this week’s episode of So You Think You Can Dance:

Dmitry is the 2nd DWTS pro to choreograph on this season of SYTYCD – Louis choreographed a samba back in week 1. Also appearing on this coming week’s episode of SYTYCD? Anya Garnis of the Vegas troupe, who will be dancing with one of the contestants as an all-star – maybe in Dmitry’s piece?

Also semi-interesting to note: despite what Heidi & I have pointed out to be a strong anti-ballroom bias on SYTYCD, the two female ballroom contestants this season, Lindsey & Witney,ย are still in the competition – and I think they’re actually the two strongest female dancers with the best chance of winning this season.ย Both apparently have attended Chelsie’s studio in Salt Lake City, and have also worked with Mark.ย Hmmm…anyone else think we might see them as troupe members or pros on a future season of DWTS? ๐
Special thanks to @DMITRYDREAMTEAM for the heads up about Dmitry ๐ Be sure to check out our sister site, Pure SYTYCD, for more news & updates on the current season of So You Think You Can Dance ๐
UPDATE: Check out the cha-cha Dmitry choreographed for contestant Cole & all-star Anya below ๐
ETA #2: Check out a cute interview with Dmitry after the show, where he talks about what it was like working with Cole & Anya and whether or not he agrees with what the judges had to say about Cole’s performance.ย Thanks to reader Maria for the heads-up! ๐
Good week coming up and I agree with you Courtney, they have I really good shot I think! It’d be awesome to see either of them win. Probably rooting for Cole as the male winner.
I’m pretty sure we’ll see them later on in DWTS, ESPECIALLY if one of them wins. I think they both have fun personalities and they are lovely dancers. Can’t wait for next week’s routines and thanks for the great post Courtney!
You’re welcome ๐ Have a feeling they aren’t re-creating the Dmitry & Anya Rumba from Vegas (also performed on DWTS) and will be performing another style based on Anya’s tweet (see below). One of our followers believes that she might be paired with Cole and possibly rehearsing Cha Cha per Cole’s tweet (see below).
Anya Garnisโ@AnyaGarnisLA
Wow….what a long day! And I thought I was in pretty good shape….NOT lol
Cole Horibeโ@Dance9Cole
Well I WAS excited, now I’m stressing!! This style is so difficult and I look terrible esp. compared to my partner. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJGHWqR3Js0 โฆ
Very happy both ballroom contestants are part of the top 10 and I am looking forward to seeing them with all-stars this week. I enjoyed Chelsie as an all-star last season but it may be too late for her this season if she does not perform this week as rehearsals for Season 15 start August 27.
love lindsay and whitney hope one o them wins. hope cole wins as well.
Do you guys think it weired that none of the guys who choreograph for SYTYCD are on DWTS anymore?
Chelsie also wasn’t called back after her one dance on SYTYCD all-stars.
I think that Lindsey is going to be a pro on DWTS without a doubt. I like Whitney but I can’t see her as a pro on DWTS. I don’t know what it is but for some reason I can see her in the troupe but not as a pro. I think that the winners are going to be Lindsey and Cheon (Nick was my fav out of the guys buth e got voted out so I have to go w my second fav out of the guys this season lol. Something about Cheon is so cool to watch since he is really giving 100% (as are the other contestants) but he really has adapatability in every sense of the word)
Saying that, I think that Whitney and CVheon’s dance to the whitney houston son is going to be nominated for an emmy next time around. That was the 1rst time this season that I went “wow”
Hey! I don’t know where to post this, but as an FYI– Anna Trebunskaya and Jonathan Roberts appeared on HGTV Design Star All Stars last week…the episode is available on the HGTV website here: http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/design_star/player/0,1000237,HGTV_33396_4301_68761-104501,00.html
It is titled “Designing with the Stars”…thanks!
It’s Cole’s to lose for the boys…but Chehon is a decent 2nd, I think. But that could just be because I fan girl over Cole like Heidi fan girls over Derek ๐
I seriously think its going to come down to Lindsey & Witney for the girls – and while I think Nigel would love for it to be Lindsey, I think Witney is more popular with the fans. Lindsey is great, but for some reason, I don’t get the same audience connection from her that I do from Witney.
apparently they r starting to promote the pros from the troupe so viewer become used to them before they get promoted so people want to see them on so I can see them replacing one of the female troupe members before the eventually become a pro
Courtney, you are going to be very happy. Dmitry is now following Cole so I am pretty sure his couple is Cole / Anya. Should be interesting since both Cole and Dmitry do martial arts. Wonder if Dmitry will be able to incorporate that into the performance ๐
I saw a video of Lindsey’s audition and I believe that was Brandon (who competed on DWTS) and won in the children’s competition in S7.
I don’t really watch SYTYCD but I was wondering if he’s a contestant on SYTYCD as well? He is quite an incredible dancer and performer.. Would love to see him give it a shot.
Below is Lindsey’s audition:
Yep, that’s Brandon, Dee ๐ I think the judges actually complimented him at the end of Lindsey’s audition & asked him why he wasn’t auditioning. His explanation? He’s still too young to be eligible ๐
I’m looking forward to seeing Dimitry’s choreography but I would really, really love to see some of Derek’s choreography on SYTYCD.
Thanks Courtney!-You, know I remember talent when I see it-lol
Brandon is good! Gotta keep an eye out for his career. I hpe he does try out for SYTYCD in the near future. I think he’s about 15 or 16 y/o!
